It’s Ivy League Friday with today’s college basketball odds board getting underway with Brown vs. Harvard and Yale vs. Dartmouth at 5 p.m. ET.
Both matchups have caught the attention of Action PRO’s betting tools and software, but it’s Yale vs. Dartmouth that is not only the top value of Friday’s 5 p.m. ET doubleheader, it’s also among the best values of today’s entire slate of games.
Below, we dive into the latest college basketball odds for Yale vs. Dartmouth, including the eye-popping betting model edge that the sharps are already betting.
College Basketball Odds, Smartest Pick for Yale vs. Dartmouth
*Odds as of Friday morning
The 18-6 Bulldogs are 8.5-point spread favorites against the 13-11 Big Green according to the latest college basketball odds.
However, Dartmouth initially hit the market at +9.5 before pro bettors steamed the Big Green at that price late Thursday night.
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market and is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same side of the same game at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
So why are the sharps so bullish on Dartmouth this afternoon?
Perhaps Action PRO’s College Basketball Projections can explain.
Our data projects Dartmouth at +6.3, which translates to a 6.6% edge — the second-largest of Friday’s entire slate — when compared to the current consensus line of +8.5.
In fact, savvy bettors can make this edge even larger by shopping for the best line and locking in Dartmouth at +9, which is available at bet365 and Caesars as of the time of writing.
PRO Pick: Dartmouth +9 (-110) — bet365
